re-use fun

Barbro Fagerlind is our exhibitor in the Kaleido gallery this month. She works in metal such as tin cans etc. Last week she held two workshops - they were fully booked immediately. I was lucky to be one of the participants and had a ball; cutting, hammering, punching away at my tin cans I had brought along. Couldn't finish it off there though, time went so fast.

I'm off to Göteborg to hold a bookbinding workshop at HDK (School of Design and Crafts) tomorrow. The train traffic situation is chaotic because of all the snow that has fallen in the past days. It's usually a 4 hour train ride, but people have been stuck for hours in the middle of nowhere because of snow blocking or rails freezing. Hope I get there - and hope I get back home after the workshop tomorrow evening...

Barbro's wonderful creations.

And my unfinished attempt at a light bearer :) It was harder than I thought, but fun!
